Magnetotransport in topological metals

Event Start:

Event End:

Event Information:

Topological metals continue to attract attention as novel gapless states of matter. 
While there by now exists an exhaustive classification of possible topologically nontrivial metallic states, 
their observable properties, that follow from the electronic structure topology, are less well understood. 
In this talk I will present my recent work on magnetotransport phenomena in topological metals, which may be related to the 
chiral anomaly. I will demonstrate that the chiral anomaly leads to strong anisotropic magnetoresistance in such materials,
